Outcomes Overview
Graduates leave with a median debt of $8,900, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 24% against their $37,366 median salary. Monthly loan payments of $94 consume only 3% of typical graduate income. The 96.6% employment rate reflects strong local employer connections in healthcare, manufacturing, and business services that dominate central Illinois. Many graduates use ICC as an affordable stepping stone to four-year degrees, while others enter the workforce directly through career programs in nursing, welding, and automotive technology. The 45% loan repayment rate suggests some financial struggles, but the low debt burden keeps payments manageable. Strong return on investment for career-focused students.
